So true, so it will still be there after the Chinese New Year. I might wait till then to pull the trigger. I have way too many as it is. Cheers.

It was certainly there four weeks ago when I bought my NW1A. Back of the store, right corner, safely behind glass?

It's still there my friend. Just looking at MEEEEEE!!! I have 2 ears and all this gear I already got this year. Have to hold out a month or two.

So there's lots of places to check out audio stuff in Ho Chi Minh city? As it happens, will be in town for a while soon.

HK is the spot not here. But I was shocked the price here is slightly lower then in HKG. Two hundred USD lower. So never know. You might pull the trigger here.

We don't know that in Saigon, there are elites people who are directly under the influences and related to politicians....these guys are known to have unlimited expenses powers . They toys around with many stuff....just so long as none of them are hunting for Sony signatures, you are safe

Anyways, knowing Vietnamese businesses, you could bargain for many reasons ....but if I was you, I would enjoy the new year and Chinese New Year first lol

Yeah, I think they mostly spend their money on different things. When I picked up my preordered WM1A, the staff left the store open until 10 pm just for me, and when I left the store and closed the door behind me, I could literally hear them cheering and what sounded like everyone giving each other high-fives.

Need to save up for TA-ZH1ES.

So it's worth the extra $1,700 over the Mojo? Law of diminishing returns probably applies here. It's also $600 more than I paid for the Z1R itself.

I think it will appeal to completest who enjoy having matched gear, or those who believe they can hear common noise and feel balanced is the better option for them.

It would be great to get the amp and the gold Walkman but then there little things like mortgage and kids to clothe and feed to worry about ....

Or a one-stop solution to most of your audio problems...
 
I don't have a pre-existing and extensive amp collection so I picked up the ZH1ES. It has virtually all the outputs and inputs i'd want.

Nope, it lacks balanced analog input ....and it however convert Analog into digital, and then reconvert back into analog again ? This gives it the full ability to upscale whatever and or interfere as much as it want though. IMO, it was made to be a pure DAC/Amp only, and not Analog amplifier alone at all.

Anyone else see the new Kimber Kable Axios silver version that is coming out? Looks insane! But unfortunately I bet the price will be insane to match

They are now available for pre-order at the cheapest price they've ever been on Amazon UK. American BUYERS get them for £1,162 shipped!

What a bargain.

Man those Amazon margins are thin, no wonder dealers hate when they are in the game. Makes you wonder how they are allowed to advertise those prices when based on what has been discussed in this thread Sony should have in place contract conditions to prevent such discounting. Perhaps Amazon is so big that they simply don't care and or Sony doesn't obligate them or bother enforcing. Still, it makes me wonder why anybody would want to be a stocking dealer if Sony is allowing the market to be so undercut by Amazon? Not trying to get any kind of heated debate going again, just wondering out loud.

I completely agree, must be a nightmare for dealers with the massive undercutting going on.

On another note, out of curiosity I messaged Amazon UK and they said their next stock is due in February, no idea how accurate that is though...
